Kaidou was pacing nervously outside a movie theater, waiting for his girlfriend. Today was their first official date, just the two of them, and he was determined to make it perfect. His mind raced with all the things that could go wrong—what if the movie was boring? What if he tripped and embarrassed himself? Or worse… what if the Dark Reunion tried to sabotage the date?!
Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. "Oi, Kaidou! What’re you doin’ here?"
Kaidou jumped, startled, and turned to see Nendou strolling toward him, his towering figure hard to miss. Right behind him was Saiki, trying to go unnoticed, and Teruhashi, who was practically glowing with her perfect smile.
"W-what are you guys doing here?" Kaidou asked, wide-eyed.
"We’re just here to see a movie!" Teruhashi said sweetly. "Isn’t it a wonderful coincidence?"
Kaidou’s stomach sank. This is not good. He glanced around nervously, hoping his girlfriend hadn’t arrived yet. The last thing he needed was the whole gang showing up on his first date.
But, of course, fate wasn’t on his side.
"Kaidou!" His girlfriend’s cheerful voice called out, and Kaidou froze as she approached. She looked excited for the date, completely unaware of the chaos about to unfold. "I’m so glad you’re here! Are you ready to go in?"
Kaidou was about to answer when Teruhashi stepped forward, her eyes sparkling. "Oh, are you two here on a date? How adorable!" She glanced at Kaidou’s girlfriend with a knowing look, clearly impressed.
Kaidou’s face flushed a deep red.
"Oh, you guys are here too?" his girlfriend asked, looking genuinely happy to see them. Being as well known as she was, she was friends with everyone, including Teruhashi. "Why don’t you join us? It’ll be fun!"
Teruhashi, knowing Saiki was there, agreed immediately. Nendou being Nendou also agreed. While Saiki—reluctantly dragged along by the group—stayed silent, already sensing the chaos to come. Kaidou sighed in embarrassment and defeat. Great.
